In this previous application a bas'e or support for holding the records in upright'position is shownjthe present application having more particular reference to a housing carried" by the base and adapted to cover the records; a

The invention hasfor a general object to the-records. v 1 More specifically speakin the, invention has for an obje'ctjto provi e ahousi-n g'or casing having a ,novel arrangement; of hinged wall membersto facilitate.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional View i,

of the base alone, this view being taken along.

the line 4-4 of Figure Q As here shown my improved record holder comprises a rectangular base 10, of considerable thickness, in the ton of which are formed two series of grooves or slotsll and 12 respectively extending in a-generaldirection longitudinally of the base and adapted to receive the edges of the records R ates to'aholder or cabt to the appended claims inwhich the',va-'
